3 weeks in Trinidad!

20 November 2012 | Chaguaramus, Trinidad

Ann Willauer; 85' and partly cloudy

Nothing like listening to Christmas carols at 85', but that's all they play in Trinidad following the Divali Festival (Indian festival of lights last week) until Christmas. Somehow I can't get into it! We are finally getting our new refrigerator part installed and will be back in business tonight! Yippee! Shopping etc for the next 2 days and then we are out of here headed for Bequia. It has been fun as quite a few of our British friends have been and still are here, so we have had company. I guess I will miss being plugged in with AC and good internet, but the adventure has to start sometime. Leaving early Friday headed for Grenada for a quick night's rest, then on to Union Island for more of the same, then Bequia, where we will spend a few nights waiting for fair winds to go up to St Lucia and meet Tori and family. That's the plan as it stands today!

Brad retired in April of 2009 and Ann in June, 2009. We took the boat north to Nova Scotia and the south coast of Newfoundland that summer and down to the Chesapeake in the fall, heading off shore from Hampton, Va to St Thomas, USVI.

Extra:

Once in the Caribbean, we cruised down through the islands to Trinidad by 5/09. In 11/2010, we returned to cruise north to Antigua and back to Trinidad in May. This year, 10/2011, we brought the boat up to St Lucia and flew home for Christmas, returning 1/2012.
